Athletic Training Major

On the sidelines of athletic playing fields and sports clinics nationwide, athletic
trainers are key members of athletic health care teams.

In high schools, colleges and universities, professional sports programs, corporate
and industrial sites, and sports medicine clinics, athletic trainers are keeping weekend,
scholastic, and professional athletes healthy and ready for the next big athletic
event. The athletic trainer specializes in preventing, evaluating, managing, and rehabilitating
athletic injuries in physically active people.

Program Based on National Guidelines

The curriculum of the Athletic Training program was developed based on guidelines
established by the Education Council of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. Towson University provides a combination of formal classroom instruction and clinical
experience to prepare students to apply their health care skills in cooperation with
medical and athletic personnel, coaches, parents, and others involved in physical
activity.
